ah, the funny shit they put in movie previews. i cant even remember the name of the movie, but that fucking quote almost made spit out my diet dew that i snuck in to see The Social Network. while i found the movie to be quite entertaining, i also found a lot of similarities in it to my life. i am not going to list them, mainly because im fucking lazy, but it also made me realize how a lot of these social commentary movies attempt to draw more attention to themselves by being able to relate to multiple people.
its not just movies or tv shows anymore, its everything from websites and magazines to music and autobiographies. would anyone really give a shit about lindsay lohan if her myriad of mistakes didnt reflect the fact that not only is she simply human like the rest of us, but actually has the means to fuck her life up more than we can fuck our own?
it is staggering how many hits celebrity dirt sites get solely on the trash that they talk about how one star is more white trash than another. everyone seems so intent on seeing just how fucked up everyone else is. it helps to distract themselves from the many things that plague them. the histories of mistakes that will go unprinted but always remembered.
even in this technological age, there are a great many dark secrets that will never reach the surface and perhaps that is the greatest part of having a wealth of secrets and a shortage of cash: my supply will never run out and in the end, i have more value than anyone who is splayed all over the news like a pornographic life centerfold for the embarrassed and relieved masses.
